Identification of a new enteroinvasive Escherichia coli strain.
We isolated an enteroinvasive Escherichia coli strain which did not react with antisera raised against all known E. coli serogroups, Shigella groups A, B, C and D or provisional Shigella serotypes. We propose the provisional designation of Escherichia coli MG for this strain, until the identification of its O antigen is established.
